5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Should I size up or down for ski boots?
A: Always follow the +1 cm rule. Unlike regular shoes, ski boots should fit snugly without being painful.

Q2: How do I convert shoe size to ski boot size?
A: It's better to measure foot length directly. Shoe size conversions can be inaccurate due to varying standards.

Q3: What if I'm between sizes?
A: Try both sizes. The right fit should allow slight toe movement but no heel lift when buckled.

Q4: Do all brands use Mondopoint?
A: Most do, but some may have slight variations. Always check the brand's specific sizing chart.

Q5: How often should I remeasure?
A: Every 2-3 years, or if you notice fit changes. Feet can change size with age and weight fluctuations.
